NCAA march ends with sadness J-W Staff Report

NORFOLK, VA. — No. 1-seed Notre Dame ended the Kansas University women’s basketball team’s hope of a magical run to the Final Four on Sunday at Constant Convocation Center.

The Fighting Irish (34-1) stormed to a 93-63 Sweet 16 victory over the No. 12-seeded Jayhawks (20-14) by overcoming 25 points from KU senior Carolyn Davis and 13 assists from senior Angel Goodrich.

Guard Skylar Diggins scored 27 points with nine assists against just one turnover for Notre Dame, which has won 29 consecutive games.

“Skylar (Diggins) is as good as advertised. She is the whole package. She gets everyone involved.

She knows how to create for herself and her teammates,” Goodrich said after the final game of her KU career.

KU matched the Irish shot for shot in the game’s first five minutes, as the Jayhawks led 15-14 at that point. Diggins scored nine straight points to give the Irish a 23-15 lead at 10:22. KU held tight for the remainder of the half until the final two minutes, when Diggins drained back-to-back threes for a 40-27 halftime lead. She had 22 at the half and became the all-time leading scorer in Notre Dame history.

“We’ll build from it. It’s disappointing,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said of the loss. “We’re all too competitive to just talk about what’s next for the program, kind of play ‘present move forward’ and that’s hard to do right now.

We’ll find that mojo and find that way to build on this. It’s just hard to do right now in the moment, but we will do that moving forward and we’ve got some good kids in that locker room that are coming back and good kids in our freshman class coming in that will help us.”

GARY AVERY, LAWRENCE, was just 23 when his mother, Hazel, and younger brother, Steve, went missing the evening of March 27, 1973. Hazel and Steve’s bodies, along with that of Gary Longfellow, were found near Ottawa two days later. All three had been shot in the head. The case remains unsolved 40 years later. thumb to the road, a somewhat common practice in the area four decades ago.

On the stormy night, Steve’s progress stalled, and he called his mother from a pay phone in Richmond, about 40 miles south of Lawrence.

Hazel, a local nurse who lived in the 600 block of Alabama Street in Lawrence, called Longfellow to accompany her on the trip because of the late night and stormy conditions.

They left about 10:30 p.m. Motorists reported seeing Steve walking along Highway 59 two miles north of Richmond, or perhaps south of Princeton near Central Heights

Murder CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Ottawa noticed a large sedan parked on the side of a country road. She called police, and the three bodies were found.

The crime scene posed just as much a mystery for police and detectives then as it does decades later.

Jim Malson, a retired Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent, was in charge of the investigation. Now 76, Malson remembers the details of the case clearly.

All three bodies were found with their heads slumped on seats in the car â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hazel in the front passenger seat, Steve in the rear passenger side, and Longfellow behind the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat. All three were knelt down on the floorboards, and all had â&#x20AC;&#x153;contactâ&#x20AC;? wounds, indicating that at some point, someone placed a gun against their heads and pulled the trigger.

In total, seven bullets were recovered. Steve had been shot twice in the head and Hazel had been shot in the neck, shoulder, and head.

Longfellow, meanwhile, also had been shot through the bottom of his foot. Malson speculates that Longfellow had tried to run, or possibly kicked

Other body: An odd coincidence?

Just three weeks after the murders of Gary Longfellow and Steve and Hazel Avery, police found the unidentified body of a young man in a wooded area in Anderson County, which is several miles south of the site of the Avery/Longfellow murder.

The man had a fractured skull, but police have never been able to definitively say whether the death was caused by a blunt object or resulted from a fall in the woods.

Police were never able to identify the man, a foot up at the shooter.

But as with everything in the case, it was all a guess, Malson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Try to put it together, it just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come together,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Motive was the most difficult aspect to pin down in the case, said Jeff Hupp, a retired KBI agent who worked the case until 2010. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a robbery, as nothing had been stolen. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sexually motivated, as there were no signs of a sexual assault.

All that was left was that someone wanted one of the three dead: A â&#x20AC;&#x153;hit.â&#x20AC;?

The murder did have a professional feel to it, Hupp said. Whoever was responsible had to control three people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; includ-

though forensic scientists developed a DNA profile and composite sketch.

Several investigators interviewed for this story believe the the case is just a coincidence, and the young manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was unrelated to the Avery/Longfellow case.

To learn more about the case, visit the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. ing two young men. Not an easy task and probably the work of someone with some experience in such matters, Hupp said.

But the idea that someone planned such a murder seems improbable.

No one knew Longfellow and Hazel were heading to Ottawa, and it seems unlikely someone would have been staking out the two or Steve.

Both Malson and Hupp said the investigation showed Steve potentially had an enemy or two. But he had no criminal record, and according to investigators and family members, both Longfellow and Steve appeared to be fairly typical blue-collar young men.

Project aims to preserve countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Dale Nimz says there are still remnants of Douglas Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agrarian past scattered throughout rural areas surrounding Lawrence, but they are gradually becoming harder to find. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old barns are definitely a threatened species,â&#x20AC;? said Nimz, a historic preservation consultant in Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Historic barns are large, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expensive to maintain, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit modern agriculture and modern life very well. So what often happens is people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t maintain the roof on

barns. They leak; that damages the framing and at some point the structure falls apart.â&#x20AC;?

Nimz and his colleague Susan Ford have spent the last couple of years going from one township to another, taking a survey and cataloging historic buildings and places in rural Douglas County.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of a project for the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council, with funding from the Douglas County Commission.

Last year, they completed a survey of Eudora Township. This year, they are turning their attention to Kanwaka Township west

As House and Senate budget and tax negotiators meet to work out agreements in their plans, Gov. Sam Brownback has kept his public statements generally vague, except in two important areas: sales tax and higher education.

On the spending side, Brownback has repeated at least twice to reporters that he wants to keep higher education funding at the same level it is now. The House has proposed a 4 percent cut and the Senate, 2 percent.

of Lawrence, and Wakarusa Township south of the city.

After holding initial public meetings with residents of those areas in February, Nimz and Ford began their field survey of existing properties that may have historical significance. But Nimz said they have gotten off to a slow start because of the weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been frustrating,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had pretty nice weather in February. We wanted to have our public meetings and then get started. Now in March, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had that big snowstorm and some bad weather. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty frustrating right now.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to survey, and conditions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very good for it.â&#x20AC;?

Mainly, he said, they look for buildings that are at least 50 years old and have what he calls archi-

. tectural integrity, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so its appearance still resembles its appearance as a historic building.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A building that might have some historic material in it, and maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been encased in another more modern building, or itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been renovated so much that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really visible as a historic building, is something that would have low significance,â&#x20AC;? Nimz said.

The things that are of most interest, he said, are buildings that reflect the early period of Douglas County history, when farming and agriculture were the predominant way of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting because in the 21st century, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think of Douglas County as an agricultural county that much,â&#x20AC;? Nimz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture is less and less of an important economic activity. There has been a lot of urban development and suburban development, and many of the people who live in rural areas are not farmers.

Crossland Construction, whose chief executive officer, Ivan Crossland, is also is chairman of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.

Crossland is pushing for a bill, opposed by unions, that would ban local government from having contracts with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;prevailing wage.â&#x20AC;?

Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, has become a champion of the bill.

Her son-in-law is Riley Scott.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next: Most action will be in conference committees and the floor of the House and Senate.

Today 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas Senate is scheduled to debate House Bill 2253, which states that life begins at fertilization; tells doctors to provide information about a link between abortion and cancer, which many say doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist; and removes any tax breaks for medical expenses related to abortion.

They have other occupations. But throughout most of its history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say from about 1854 to maybe 1964 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; agriculture was probably the most important way to make a living in Douglas County outside of Lawrence. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the buildings show us.â&#x20AC;?

Very few of the earliest homes that settlers built before and immediately after the Civil War survive today, Nimz said.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because many were made of logs or hewed timber that did not survive the decades.

Stone houses were less common at the time, Nimz said, but more of them survive today because they are more durable. Often they were made out of rock that was quarried within a few miles of the building site itself.

One such building in Kanwaka Township is a home built in 1869 by August and Caroline Wulfkuhle, he said. Made out of native stone, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built into the side of a hill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a

common feature of German-American architecture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which provides access to a cellar both from inside the house and from outdoors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a number of farms and families with that name in Kanwaka Township around the Deer Creek area,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has the main stone area and a large wood frame addition on the rear. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a house that has evolved, but it still has a high degree of architectural integrity.â&#x20AC;?

Another is the Kanwaka Township Hall, a prominent sight on the north side of U.S. Highway 40 just west of Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That actually was built (in 1892) as the Union Congregational Church,â&#x20AC;? Nimz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It served as a church into the late 1920s to about 1930 or so, and the congregation dwindled and it was sold to the township and has served as the township hall since the 1930s. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the main community

symbols of Kanwaka Township because the township is a kind of community.â&#x20AC;?

Nimz likes to point out that Kansas was settled during a time of rapidly changing technology, which is reflected in the way homes and buildings were constructed.

During the territorial years, homes were built on stone foundations, usually out of native wood or stone. A few builders used so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;soft brickâ&#x20AC;? that individuals could make by hand out of the clay soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as soon as the railroads made it possible, from 1864 on, wood frame became the cheapest and quickest and most available material,â&#x20AC;?

Nimz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So most of the buildings in rural Douglas County will be wood frame.â&#x20AC;?

And then around the turn of the 20th century â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from about 1890 to 1910 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; timber frames gradually went by the wayside and builders began using boards and

planks nailed together to frame structures. Concrete also became readily available and replaced stone as the most common type of foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if we find a timberframe barn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost certainly 19th century, and if we find a nailframe barn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly going to be 20th century,â&#x20AC;? Nimz said.

Nimz and Ford plan to complete their field survey of Kanwaka and Wakarusa Townships by June 30. During that time, they encourage area residents to suggest properties to be surveyed and provide historical information about them.

The completed survey will then be published and submitted to the Kansas State Historical Society.

People wanting to suggest properties for inclusion in the survey may email Nimz at dnimz@ sunflower.com. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Peter Hancock can be reached at 832-7259. Follow him at Twitter.com/ LJWpqhancock.

BRIEFLY 14-year-old boy dies after being shot KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 14-year-old boy has been shot and killed after an argument in northeast Kansas City, Kan. Police identified the victim Sunday as Miguel Garcia of Kansas City, Kan. The Kansas City Star reported that the victim and another teenage boy were walking together Saturday afternoon when a sport utility vehicle approached them.

An argument between the two groups ensued.

The SUV then circled the block before its occupants opened fire, striking Miguel.

February home sales give hope for rebound The city has Februaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building permit report out, and the numbers continue to be a tale of two types of construction. Single-family home construction continues to be pretty stagnant, but there are builders staying busy with multifamily construction.

The city issued 10 single-family building permits during the month.

For the year, the city has issued 18, which is on pace with what the city did last year. (There were 19 issued during the first two months of 2012.) On the apartment front, though, the city issued permits for 22 new apartments in February, bringing the total number of units to 286.

Apartment permits come in bunches though, and all the permits are for one project in the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the new apartment development just west of WalMart at Sixth and Wakarusa. That project, by the way, is being built by Lawrence-based Highland Construction, which indicates Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stultz family â&#x20AC;&#x201D; longtime landlords in the community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are behind the project.

In total, the city issued $6.04 million worth of building permits in February. For the year, the city has issued $22.7 million worth of permits, which is up from $10.47 million a year ago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early, so it is not wise to read too much into those numbers yet, but city officials certainly would love for that pace to continue.

Sales of single-family homes continue a steady climb, according to a new report from the Lawrence Board of Realtors. Lawrence homes sales in February checked in at 46, up from 44 during February 2012.

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

For the year, home sales are up about 20 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 82 home sales during the first two months of the year vs. 69 for the same period a year ago.

But the bigger story is that February marked the 11th consecutive month that homes sales have been higher than the same month a year earlier.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the type of statistic that begins to paint a picture of a rebound. Indeed, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing from some in the industry that agents are now starting to believe that more homes are needed on the market.

That hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been the case for quite some time. If that feeling continues, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sort of sentiment that will fuel a rebound in the single-family construction industry.

In terms of other numbers from the monthly report: â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The number of active listings in Lawrence is down almost 30 percent from a year ago: 371 in February 2013 compared to 510 in February 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The median selling price for the year is $174,125, up from $145,000 during the same period a year ago. But the sample size this early in the year is so small that those numbers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean much. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The median days on market is at 99, which is

up significantly from 79 days one year ago. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one piece of the report that runs a bit counter to the recovery trend.

You know the housing market has been slow when homes that are built to sell for prices below their market value were slow to sell. But that had been the case for a while with the southeast Lawrence affordable housing project being built by Tenants to Homeowners.

In case you have forgotten, Lawrence-based Tenants to Homeowners has started construction on the Prairie Wind affordable housing community right near the corner of 26th and Haskell.

The development is listing brand-new four-bedroom homes for $125,000 to $130,000. The homes have an appraised value of about $175,000. But Rebecca Buford, executive director of Tenants to Homeowners, told me even those homes were moving very slowly in the Lawrence market for the last year or more.

But there are signs that is changing. Buford said the development has put four houses under contract in the last three weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is like a switch was turned on in the last month or so,â&#x20AC;? Buford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people have just been scared. And it probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good decision to buy if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think their job was solid. But I think people are starting to feel better about that.â&#x20AC;?

The Prairie Wind development is set to have 18 homes when completed.

Buford said five houses have already been sold and another seven are under construction, with four of those under con-

tract. She said she hopes to have the project fully built and sold by this time next year.

The development does place income restrictions on who can qualify to buy the below-market rate homes. Buyers must have an income under 80 percent of the median income for the area. For a Lawrence family of four, that means an annual income of less than $56,650.

Here are some recent sales of commercial property that caught my eye: â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Maybe James Naismithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original rules of basketball will be housed in The Oread hotel. I rather doubt that, but it appears the man who bought the rules to bring back to KU has purchased a condo in the hotel building. The listings show a trust held by David and Suzanne Booth bought an upper story condo in the hotel that sits atop Mount Oread. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Midland Railway Historical Association in Baldwin City has purchased a piece of property, 1704 College Street, along the railroad tracks, about a block south of its historic station. No word yet on what the plans may be for that location, but the old-time train company has been busy lately. It launched its first dinner train in January. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It looks like business must be going well for Biemerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BBQ at 2120 W. Ninth St. The property transfers indicate the business has finalized a deal to purchase its restaurant location â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which used to be the old Buckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hamburger joint â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from a group led by Lawrence businessman Doug Compton.

GOOGLE EMPLOYEES shoot pool in a break room on the Google campus in Mountain View, Calif. Companies say extraordinary campuses are a necessity to attract top talent and to spark innovation and creativity in the workplace.

Technology firms bumping up perks to recruit, retain

By Martha Mendoza AP National Writer

CUPERTINO, CALIF. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring-shaped, gleaming â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spaceship Headquartersâ&#x20AC;? will include a world-class auditorium and an orchard for engineers to wander. Googleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Bay View campus will feature walkways angled to force accidental encounters. Facebook, while putting final touches on a Disney-inspired campus including a Main Street with a BBQ shack, sushi house and bike shop, is already planning an even larger, more exciting new campus.

More than ever before, Silicon Valley firms want their workers at work.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has gone so far as to ban working from home, and many more offer prodigious incentives for coming in to the office, such as free meals, massages and gyms.

This spring, as the tech industry is soaring out of the Great Recession, plans are in the works for a flurry of massive, perk-laden headquarters.

New Silicon Valley headquarters or expansions are under way at most of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major

firms, including eBay, Intel, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia and Oracle. Inside, there are walls you can draw on, ping pong tables, Lego stations, gaming arcades and free haircuts.

Critics say that while some workplace perks and benefits are a good thing, the large, multibillion dollar corporate headquarters are colossal wastes of money that snub the pioneering technology these firms actually create. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Companies led by older management tend to be very controlling, but when I look at people in the 20s or 30s, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re totally capable of working on their own and being productive,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Wheeler, whose Future of Talent Institute researches and consults on human resources for Silicon Valley businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have artificial structures that require everybody to be in the office at certain hours of the day is simply asinine.â&#x20AC;?

Wheeler said he thinks Yahoo called everyone back to work â&#x20AC;&#x153;because they had gotten into a culture of laziness,â&#x20AC;? and that the firm will likely loosen the restrictions soon.

New type of dental providers unlikely

H.S. seniors make supervised mess

TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lawmakers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t acting on a proposal to allow a new type of dental worker to perform routines services in underserved areas.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reported that two bills have languished in House and Senate committees without hearings.

The bills would allow for a midlevel dental provider to do about 30 basic dental procedures. Those procedures include â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonsurgical extractionâ&#x20AC;? of diseased permanent teeth that are already loose.

The providers would be licensed dental hygienists who pass a clinical exam, have practiced for 500 hours under the direct supervision of a dentist and purchase liability insurance. Advocates note that there is a shortage of dental care in many Kansas counties.

But the Kansas Dental Association has objected, raising concerns about safety and the creation of two levels of care.

GARDEN CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A prank at Garden City High School wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done in secret.

The Garden City Telegram reported that principal James Mireles let 50 to 100 seniors into the school on a recent Sunday night to perform a supervised senior prank. The students used streamers, yarn, toilet paper and newspapers to cover the commons area. They also used sidewalk chalk outside.

Mireles said several seniors asked for permission beforehand and promised to clean up after their classmates got a chance to see their handiwork.

Mireles acknowledged that some people were surprised and that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipating the Vaseline on door handles.

But he said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any teachers were complaining.

Senior Gary Harley says his sole regret is that only 10 people showed up to clean the mess.

about the centuries-old practice of sopping one’s bread in leftover juices?

Dear Durant: You may have misunderstood the original letter.

When eating peas and other small, hard-tocapture foods, it is best to get them onto one’s fork by using a knife or a piece of bread, rather than pushing them with one’s fingers. It’s unappetizing to watch someone use their fingers.

And yes, you can sop bread in leftover juices, as long as you don’t make a slurpy mess of it.

As shocking as it is to hear this from such young children, the response from the people in charge is worse.

I reported these threats multiple times, and nothing has been done. No one has even spoken to the boys about their behavior. I was told the kids are young and most likely don’t have access to guns. Yet these kids have older siblings who can obtain guns for them.

In light of current events, I take these threats seriously. I’ve spoken to the principal, vice-principal, school social workers and the boys’ parents. They all tell me I need to “focus

H

opefully, Mother Nature will provide ideal weather Tuesday so local voters will have no excuse for not participating in the Lawrence City Commission and school board elections.

These are important bodies, and those who serve as members play a significant role in shaping the excellence and future of our city.

For this reason, voters should give serious thought to whom they support in these elections. Voters should base their support on candidates’ experience, personal record, honesty, objectivity, fiscal acumen and how their business and professional training helps prepare them to be valuable and contributing members of the commission or school board.

The candidates’ abilities and honesty should be the most important factors when deciding for whom to vote.

Regardless of the election results, all those seeking voter support should be thanked for their willingness to run for office and serve. Thousands of residents are quick to suggest how city commissioners and school board members should vote, and what’s wrong with City Hall or the school system. However, relatively few are willing to become candidates and put their ideas into action. It’s a lot of big talk but little action.

A large voter turnout is the best way for residents to show their appreciation for these men and women making the sacrifice to run for office.

And, hopefully, a big voter turnout will place properly motivated, highly qualified individuals into service as city commissioners or school board members.

Emotions ran high this week at a public hearing on a proposed historic preservation ordinance.

Eleven speakers, mostly preservaYEARS tion supporters, had stepped up for AGO the public comment portion of the IN 1988 meeting, which was held to discuss the creation of an entire historic preservation program for Lawrence proposed by the 15-member Historic Preservation Task Force.

Many residents were still feeling the sting of the previous summer’s controversial demolition of eight old houses near the Old West Lawrence neighborhood to make room for an expansion of the Douglas County Bank.

TAMPA, FLA. — The emblem of the U.S. Special Operations Command pointedly illustrates its mission: It shows the tip of a spear. Now SOCOM is expanding this arsenal to create a global network that can project power even as America’s armies withdraw from the battlefields of the last decade.

Adm. William McRaven, the SOCOM commander, has been developing this ambitious new role at his headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base here. McRaven is among the nation’s most celebrated warriors. He planned the operation that killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011; in his office is a small sculpture tagged “Bull Frog,” honoring him as the longest-serving Navy SEAL in uniform.

McRaven’s plan to create a “global SOF network” was endorsed in February by the Pentagon, which gave McRaven direct control over special forces around the world. The move appears to have support from other top military commanders, even though it would potentially diminish their authority. But there has been little public discussion of the policy, despite its significant changes.

The White House appears to like the concept but has not signed off on final details.

The underlying idea is that special forces have proved themselves America’s best weapon against extremists in a turbulent, increasingly borderless world. After the grinding wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. won’t

“

The past decade may have shown the limits of conventional military power, but it has also demonstrated the potency of the unconventional SOF arsenal.” be sending big expeditionary armies abroad anytime soon.

America’s heavyweight commands, such as CENTCOM in the Middle East and PACOM in the Pacific, will now focus on potential adversary nations such as Iran, China and North Korea.

To fight the small wars.

McRaven offers his agile, stealthy and highly lethal network of commandos. Often their missions will involve training and partnering with other nations, rather than shooting. Sometimes, their activities may look like USAID development assistance or CIA political action.

McRaven’s global network would help fill a vacuum in U.S. foreign policy. As America retreats from its costly and unpopular wars, it needs ways to influence a

world shaken by what former national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski calls the “global political awakening.”

The U.S. also needs to get its act together bureaucratically — coordinating military services and government agencies the way SOCOM has done with its joint forces.

The existing tool kit hasn’t been very effective: USAID is more of a development contractor than an operational agency; the State Department’s Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations is too small to lead even its own department’s efforts, let alone the government’s; the U.S. Institute of Peace likes its status as an independent adviser, rather than an instrument of national power.

And the CIA wants to do less covert action, not more.

Enter the Special Operations Forces. The past decade may have shown the limits of conventional military power, but it has also demonstrated the potency of the unconventional SOF arsenal. The most dramatic examples are the secret task forces that killed bin Laden in Pakistan and targeted hundreds of other extremists in night raids in Iraq and Afghanistan.

McRaven’s staff argues that the biggest future impact of special forces may not be in combat but in partnering and networking. An example is the “A-teams” that lived rough with Afghan tribal fighters starting in 2001 and made them partners against the Taliban. The network will draw

on SOCOM forces deployed in 78 countries, many teaching war-fighting skills to local special forces. In a pamphlet describing the plan, you see pictures of McRaven’s warriors mentoring elite forces from Thailand, Nigeria, Albania, Colombia, Jordan and a dozen other countries. That’s the network, in embryo.

SOCOM planners say the concept was conceived in Europe in 2007, where McRaven created a NATO center that boosted European special forces in Afghanistan from 340 in 2007 to 2,200 now.

Fighting together, they formed what commanders hope will be lasting bonds. As one of the SOCOM slogans has it: “You can’t surge trust.”

The idea of filling the power gap with special forces is appealing, but I come away with this caution: The world is wary of forward-deployed American commandos, no matter how important the mission. A decade ago, a Pentagon plan to spread special forces abroad as “military liaison elements” created a firestorm of protest. McRaven may promise that his network won’t act anywhere without the approval of the U.S. ambassador, but the State Department will still have the jitters, not to mention foreign governments.

A global SOF network will be a powerful tool, but it can’t fill the vacuum by itself.

SOF power and soft power aren’t the same thing.

— David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Public opinion is a poor moral guide “If there is anything that links the human to the divine, it is the courage to stand by a principle when everybody else rejects it.”

— Abraham Lincoln History is full of warnings about what happens when people follow public opinion instead of standing by their principles. In its most extreme manifestation, public opinion might well become mob rule when vigilantes take the law into their own hands.

A Kansas University student in Lawrence was a victim of mistaken identity this week. An unknown man who had been serving YEARS a jail sentence in Los Angeles for AGO marijuana smuggling had been IN 1973 carrying the identification of KU student Augustus di Zerega VI, who had lost his wallet about two and a half years earlier. The situation was discovered when a probation officer made a routine phone call to the student’s father in Wichita. Officials said that the records would be corrected to clear di Zerega’s name.

Dunmire, who reIN 1913 turned Saturday evening from a two weeks’ tour of inspection through five states in the east. Mr. Dunmire visited a total of 18 water plants and of those all but three were owned by the city. Of course, Mr. Dunmire selected some of the best known plants for inspection and saw some splendid water systems ... ‘There is one thing that I am convinced of,’ said Mr. Dunmire this morning, ‘that is that Lawrence should develop its ground water supply and avoid the use of river water if it is at all possible. I found that it is a great expense to operate purification plants because of the expert chemists required and of the high salaries that must be paid them.”

Suzanne Collins, author of “The Hunger Games” trilogy has observed: “...collective thinking is usually shortlived. We’re fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction.”

In his 1882 play, “An Enemy of the People,” Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen wrote, “Public opinion is an extremely mutable thing.”

Indeed it is, and the fickle public, relying on the opinion of others, instead of eternal truths, to shape beliefs, is treading on very thin ice that has already begun to crack.

Following public opinion can and usually does, lead to moral, social and political anarchy. I give you the Roman Empire and the ancient city of Corinth, in the event that anything about history and how it can repeat itself, absent immutable principles, is being adequately taught in schools today.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD LJWorld.com/sports Monday, April 1 , 2013

Finally, Atlanta stage is set ATLANTA (AP) — An inspired Louisville squad vs. the surprising Shockers.

A new group of Fab Wolverines vs. the stingiest zone defense in college basketball.

After a weekend of blowouts and another upset, the Final Four is set.

Top overall seed Louisville will face Wichita State at the Georgia Dome next Saturday, !"#$% !'() A+%$#+$ w h i l e A"#$% ' Saturday Michigan takes 5 p.m. — Louon Syraisville (33-5) cuse in vs. Wichita the other State (30-8) national 7:30 p.m. — semifinal.

Michigan (30-7) The winvs. Syracuse ners ad(30-9) vance to the April 8 championship.

On Sunday, the Cardinals drew inspiration from a gruesome injury to guard Kevin Ware and cruised past Duke 85-63 in the Midwest Regional. Michigan led from the opening tip, routing Florida 79-59 in the South.

A day earlier, Syracuse shut down Marquette 5539 to win the East. Wichita State punched its Final Four ticket with a 70-66 upset of Ohio State out West.

In the final year of the Big East before it splits into two new conferences, Louisville and Syracuse provided a fitting send-off to a league that quickly became a basketball powerhouse after it was founded in 1979.

Before it goes, this version of the Big East has a shot at one more national title.

With two teams, no less.

The Cardinals — who, like Syracuse, are moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference — were the only No. 1 seed to make it to the Final Four.

And, boy, it’s been an impressive run.

Louisville (33-5) has won its four NCAA games by an average margin of nearly 22 points, capped by a secondhalf blowout of Duke after the Cardinals shook off the incredible shock of Ware’s injury with about 61⁄2 minutes to go before halftime.

“We won this for him,” coach Rick Pitino said.

While the Cardinals are the clear favorite heading to their second straight Final Four, Wichita State was the most improbable team to advance.

The ninth-seeded Shockers lived up to their nickname in the West, knocking off top-seeded Gonzaga in the second round and No. 2 seed Ohio State in the regional final Saturday night.

Wichita State (30-8) built a 20-point lead on the Buckeyes, then managed to hang on through a nerve-racking final five minutes to pull off the latest upset in a tournament filled with them.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD ANGEL GOODRICH GETS A HUG from an assistant coach near the end of the Jayhawks’ 93-63 Sweet 16 loss to Notre Dame on Sunday in Norfolk, Va.

Diggins, Irish end KU’s tourney run

By Jim Hodges

“

She’s what everyone says she is. She’s the NORFOLK, VA. — Missed whole package. She crejump shot. Turnover. Another Kansas University miss. ates for herself and her teammates.”

Another.

Special to the Journal-World

Steve Helber/AP Photo

KANSAS FORWARD CAROLYN DAVIS, LEFT, and Notre Dame forward Ariel Braker battle for a rebound during the first half.

Nine times up and down the court, each trip empty.

And each time Sunday, at the other end of the Ted Constant Center floor, Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins took another piece out of the Jayhawks.

That’s how a four-point lead turned into an eight-point deficit en route to a 93-63 loss to the Fighting Irish that finished Kansas’ season the way it ended last year: in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

Diggins led all scorers with 27 points, one more than she needed to set the Notre Dame school career

— Kansas’ Angel Goodrich, on Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins record of 2,323. That was accomplished with an eightfoot jump shot with 7:48 to play in a game that was, by then, academic.

“She’s what everyone says she is,” said Jayhawk point guard Angel Goodrich, who was charged with guarding Diggins much of the afternoon. “She’s the whole package. She creates for herself and her teammates.”

Diggins added nine assists and had just one turnover.

Young Jayhawks face rough slate in 2013-14 TOUGH STUFF O Kansas

University will face Duke in Chicago, then head to the Battle of Atlantis to face a big-name field.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

One of the youngest teams in Kansas University basketball history will embark on a challenging schedule in 201314.

The Jayhawks will meet Duke in the third and final Champions Classic, set for Tuesday, Nov. 12, in Chicago’s United Center. Michigan State will meet Kentucky in the other game of the oneday doubleheader.

KU is 0-2 in the Classic,

having lost to Kentucky in 2011 and Michigan State in ’12.

The Journal-World has learned the four schools have had talks about renewing the wildly successful Classic, presented by ESPN and State Farm Insurance.

The Jayhawks also will play in the Battle of Atlantis, set for Nov. 28-30 on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas. The field consists of KU, Southern California, Villanova, Tennessee, Xavier, Wake Forest and UTEP. The eighth team is rumored to be Michigan

State, though no announcement has been made.

KU has three players in the 2012-13 rotation expected to return in junior-to-be Naadir Tharpe and sophomores Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor. Redshirt freshman Ben McLemore is expected to turn pro.

Next season, Kansas will travel to Colorado in the completion of a home-andhome series. Georgetown and San Diego State will visit Allen Fieldhouse.

It’s also possible KU will play Arkansas in a Big 12/

Carolyn Davis led Kansas (20-14) with 25 points in her last college game.

After rolling to a 15-11 lead, Kansas suddenly became tentative and stayed that way.

“We let them play comfortable and confident,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “I’m sure they came in confident. We didn’t put enough pressure on the ball. We weren’t disruptive enough.”

Added Goodrich: “We let them punch, and we didn’t punch back.”

Goodrich was particularly hard on herself after her last college game. She finished with seven points, seven under her average, but added 13 assists, tying a season high.

SEC Challenge game in Allen Fieldhouse. The two conferences have yet to officially announce formation of the challenge. Criticism of the event points to the fact four of the 14 SEC teams won’t play in the challenge since there are only 10 Big 12 teams.

The nonconference schedule is normally announced sometime in April or May, with the Big 12 portion of the slate being revealed during the summer.

Points pulls out win at Houston HUMBLE, TEXAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; D.A. Points came back from a long rain delay and made four pars, the last one giving him a oneshot victory in the Houston Open and a trip to the Masters.

With a putter he once borrowed from his mother and never returned, Points rolled in a putt from just outside 12 feet on the final hole to polish off a 6-under 66 and avoid a suddendeath playoff with Mastersbound Henrik Stenson and Billy Horschel.

It was quite a turnaround for Points, whose only other PGA Tour win was at Pebble Beach two years ago with actor Billy Murray along for the laughs.

He started the year by missing the cut seven times in nine tournaments. He arrived at Redstone Golf Club having not broken 70 in last nine rounds.

But he stayed in the hunt after

opening with a 64, and he kept his calm when he returned to the golf course after a rain delay of nearly three hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for staying,â&#x20AC;?

Points said to the sparse gallery in the bleachers as he walked off the green.

Stenson birdied his last two holes for a 66 before the storms rolled across Houston, and while he came up one Points shot short, he moved up to No. 42 in the world ranking to earn an invitation to the Masters.

Horschel was on the 18th tee when play was halted, and then had to wait some more for his turn to hit on the tough driving hole. He split the middle, found the green and two-putted for

By Scott Fowler The Charlotte Observer

It was the moment that made America turn away, a sickening reminder that all of those incredible athletes competing for a spot in college basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Final Four are only made of flesh and bone just like the rest of us.

With 6:33 left in the first half of Louisvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eventual 22-point win over Duke in the NCAA tournament Sunday, the Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kevin Ware made a routine defensive play called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;close-out.â&#x20AC;? Ware took a running start and leaped toward Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tyler Thornton, trying to distract him as Thornton shot a three-pointer.

What happened nextâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;after Ware landed badly and his leg bent in a way no leg ever shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was so gruesome that CBS wisely avoided showing the replay after an initial burst of them. His Louisville teammates immediately collapsed on the court as if linked to Ware by an invisible thread.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino started crying. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski seemed on the verge of tears. For nine minutes, the game was delayed.

Ware broke his leg so completely when he fell that a bone was sticking out. It was reality TV at its most horrifying â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a live sporting event in which sports suddenly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter anymore. Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pause for a moment of perspective. Nobody died here. Pitino optimistically said he thought Ware could recover again and play basketball â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a year.â&#x20AC;? And if we all really thought about it, we could all come up with a list of a hundred national events that have happened in our own lifetimes that were far worse.

But this was so visceral that it will be a moment forever etched in the memories not only of those in the building, but for the millions of sports fans who were watching live.

Again, this injury needs to be leavened with perspective. This was not like what happened to Loyola Marymount star basketball player Hank Gathers.

He collapsed in a West Coast Conference tournament game in 1990 and died shortly after a two-handed dunk (the rest of the tournament was canceled).

But Gathersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; death didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen on a national TV broadcast. It was before Twitter and YouTube had even been invented.

Wareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury, on the other hand, digitally ping-ponged around the sports world in a matter of seconds. It was revolting and fascinating all at onceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an unforgettable moment that everyone wishes they could just forget.

the bunkers, but it caught just enough of the grass to hand up in the rough. He played a peculiar shot, lobbing the pitch instead of playing it closer to the ground, and the ball came up well short on the rain-softened green.

The putt dropped into the left corner, and Points screamed so loud it could be hear over the sparse applause.

Suddenly, his year is looking up.

He finished at 16-under 272, and the win gives him another two-year exemption. His exemption from the Pebble Beach would have expired this year.

More important, the win gets him back to Augusta National in two weeks.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland carded a final-round 70 on Sunday and rose 11 places to finish tied for 50th. Woodland totalled a 3-under 285 through four rounds.

COMMENTARY

Louisville leg injury tough to forget

par to join Stenson in the clubhouse lead.

They waited around for a playoff that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary when Points saved par on his last two holes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been having a really tough year,â&#x20AC;? Points said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have a putt to win, you want that starting out every week. I would have liked for it to have been closer.â&#x20AC;?

Points picked up his final birdie on the par-5 13th when the hole got in the way of his chip and kept the ball from running well past. It instead stopped 3 feet away.

Then, he made it hard on himself.

His 5-iron to the 17th came up well short, and Points hit a beautiful pitch-and run to tapin range for his par. On the final hole, his hybrid began to sail right of the green toward

Murray out-battles Ferrer in dramatic Sony final KEY BISCAYNE, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As a dramatic menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final at the Sony Open neared its conclusion in a winner-take-all tiebreaker, Andy Murray waged a 28-shot exchange with David Ferrer, who was left so exhausted by the rally he crumpled to the court.

CBS viewers missed it. They also missed seeing Murray accept the trophy after he erased a championship point Sunday and rallied past Ferrer 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1).

An 10:30 a.m. start on Easter turned out not to be early enough for CBS. The network cut away when the final went to the tiebreaker, switching to the tipoff of the NCAA Tournament game between Michigan and Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a shame that people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see the end of what I think was a pretty exciting match,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way it goes sometimes.â&#x20AC;?

Tennis Channel televised the end of the match, and CBS later showed a replay of match point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stayed with tennis as long as we could,â&#x20AC;? a CBS spokeswoman said.

The final was filled with grinding baseline rallies, including at least a dozen of more than 20 strokes and one lasting 34. At 2 hours, 45 minutes, the match was the longest of the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament, and the end ran a few minutes past the scheduled start of Michigan-Florida.

Sony Open tournament director Adam Barrett said CBS officials had a commitment to show basketball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They stayed with our match for as long as possible, forgoing their pre-NCAA Tournament coverage and delaying the start of the MichiganFlorida tipoff in an attempt to complete its broadcast of the match,â&#x20AC;? Barrett said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we wish the match could have been shown in its entirety, we understand that these situations do arise.â&#x20AC;?

Coincidentally, the Sony Openâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract with CBS expires this year. The tournament does not yet have a signed TV deal for 2014.

While the basketball game turned out to be lopsided, with Michigan winning 79-59, the tennis couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been closer. Murray became the first Key Biscayne menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champion to save a championship point.

One point from defeat in the last set, the Scotsman skipped a forehand off the baseline to stay in the match. Ferrer appealed the call but lost, and he battled leg cramps in the tiebreaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think either of us played our best tennis,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of breaks and ups and downs, quite a lot of mistakes from both of us. But what I did do was fight hard.â&#x20AC;?

Murray also won the title in 2009. His path to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship was made easier because Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal skipped the tournament and Novak Djokovic lost in the fourth round.

Murray made a breakthrough last year by winning an Olympic gold medal and his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll now move ahead of Federer to No. 2 in the rankings behind Djokovic.

The No. 3-seeded Ferrer, who was seeking the biggest title of his career, fell to 0-13 against top-five players in finals. Spaniards are 0-6 in the Key Biscayne menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final, with Nadal losing three of those matches.

But Murray sang the praises of Ferrer, a frequent practice partner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the best players in the world,â&#x20AC;?

Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time I play against him, people expect me to win. I say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so tough against him. He has a great attitude and is a great fighter.â&#x20AC;?

Murray has a home 15 minutes from the tournament site, near downtown Miami, and spends three months a year in South Florida. But the sellout crowd was firmly behind Ferrer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing here in Miami is like when I play in Spain,â&#x20AC;? Ferrer said during the trophy ceremony to a roar from his rooters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry,â&#x20AC;? he added, managing a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so sorry. One point. Next time.â&#x20AC;?

Playing in sunny, 80-degree weather, Murray and Ferrer were both drained in the third set, which started with six consecutive service breaks.

ANDY MURRAY, OF BRITAIN, HOLDS THE TROPHY after defeating David Ferrer, of Spain, 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1) in the final of the Sony Open tennis tournament on Sunday in bubbly Key Biscayne, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so tough physically and mentally that you were just trying to play each point,â&#x20AC;? Murray said.

Murray was a point from defeat serving at 5-6. When he hit a forehand on the line, Ferrer stopped to challenge the call. A panting Murray leaned on his racket while replay confirmed the ruling to make the score deuce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beauty of the challenge system,â&#x20AC;?

Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some matches, it would have been over. Luckily it just dropped in.â&#x20AC;?

He won the game to hold two points later, then raced to a 4-0 lead in the tiebreaker. At 4-1, a grinding exchange ended with Ferrer pulling a backhand wide, and he then collapsed to the concrete from cramps.

Ferrer limped through the final two points.

When Murray hit a return winner for the victory, he quickly dropped his racket, eager to call it a day. The two finalists then met at the net to trade weary pats on the back.

Harrow averaged 9.3 points per game as a freshman at North Carolina State in the 2010-11 season before transferring to Kentucky. He sat out the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2011-12 national championship season.

Louisville stuns No. 1 Baylor, Griner OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — From the opening tip of the season, there was only one question in women’s college basketball: How do you stop Brittney Griner?

Louisville found the answer Sunday night, pulling off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the tournament.

Considered a lock for the Final Four — and prohibitive favorites to win a second straight championship — Griner and her Lady Bears got bounced 82-81 by fifth-seeded Louisville in an NCAA regional semifinal.

“I’m just sad,” Griner said. “I didn’t do what I needed to do to get my team to the Elite 8 and just disappointment in myself.”

Baylor (34-2) had won 32 straight games and 74 of 75 behind Griner, among the greatest players ever in her sport. But

the 6-foot-8 star didn’t make a basket until the second half, then committed a foul with 2.6 seconds left that gave Louisville a chance to win.

Monique Reid made those two foul shots, rescuing the Cardinals (27-8) after they squandered a 17-point lead in the last 7 1/2 minutes.

The win made it quite a day for the school — hours earlier, the men’s team from Louisville beat Duke 85-63 to reach the Final Four.

Reid and the Cardinals will play Tennessee in the regional final on Tuesday for a berth in the Final Four.

Odyssey Sims scored 29 points, including two free throws with 9.1 seconds to go that put Baylor ahead 81-80. Sims had one more

chance to save the season, but she was off-target and late on a desperation heave.

Sims dropped to the floor after her miss, pulling her jersey over her face and kicking her legs as she lay flat on her back.

Griner squatted near her and slapped the floor with both hands before pulling Sims up to her feet.

It was a stunning end of a remarkable college career for Griner, the second-highest scoring player in NCAA history.

Griner, who had averaged 33 points in Baylor’s first two games in the tournament, didn’t make a basket until she converted a putback with 15:20 left in the second half. She wound up with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

myself,” she said. “I thought I would come out strong, but didn’t.”

The damage wasn’t completely self-inflicted. Just before its 12-0 run, Notre Dame switched some defensive match-ups and put 6-foot-1 Ariel Braker on 6-3 Davis “to try to get a little more length on her,” ND coach Muffet McGraw said. “We also talked about we’ve got to sag in a little bit more on her.”

Said Diggins: “We really just tightened down on defense. We wanted to string together a series of stops.”

Nine in a row, as it turned out, en route to a runaway.

The Irish also made Goodrich a point of emphasis, noting her importance to the Kansas offense.

“I was trying to push her left,” Diggins said. “I noticed that she wasn’t hitting her perimeter shots when I pushed her left. She only went to the basket three or four times.

I tried the get the ball out of her hands.”

Diggins finished the first half with back-to-back three-point baskets in helping Notre Dame (341) establish a 40-27 lead.

Kayla McBride scored nine of her 13 points in a 20-9 Irish run to open a second half in which Kansas vowed to come out more aggressively.

From there, it became a countdown to Notre Dame’s regional final game, Tuesday against

Duke, a 53-45 winner over Nebraska in Sunday’s other game in Norfolk.

The Irish will be seeking their 30th straight victory.

Diggins’ record-setting shot was the result of some bench accounting.

Coming out of a timeout with about eight minutes to play, “I had forgotten all about it,” McGraw said. “I was looking to sub her out coming out of that timeout.”

A check with a Notre Dame sports-information official indicated that Diggins needed only two more points.

“I told her, ‘You’re coming out in 30 seconds, so you might as well get two more,’” McGraw said.

Diggins left eight seconds after her shot made it 79-50.

From there, it became a case of the Jayhawks salvaging what they could,

with three seniors — Goodrich, Davis and Monica Engelman — trying to go out as best they could, while everybody else looked to the future.

The end was “bittersweet,” said Engelman, who finished with 10 points. “I was grateful to have had this opportunity to play at Kansas, and I think we left this program better than it was when we came in.”

Added Davis: “When we came in, all this program knew was (National Invitational Tournament), and we upped the level of play. I think this is going to set the bar higher for incoming freshmen.”

Henrickson said that there were five of those on the horizon and welcomed the challenge spawned by two years of success in the NCAA Tournament.

“That’s exciting,” she said. “I’d rather have the

“We want to advance.

We want to find a way to keep going,” McCallie said.

Alexis Jones added 14 points for the Blue Devils (33-2), who also struggled last weekend at home.

They advanced to Tuesday night’s game against top-seeded Notre Dame with a berth in the Final Four on the line. Notre Dame beat Kansas, 93-63, on Sunday.

LOUISVILLE PLAYERS — DISPLAYING A JERSEY IN HONOR OF FALLEN TEAMMATE KEVIN WARE — CELEBRATE their 85-63 victory over Duke in the Midwest Regional final Sunday in Indianapolis.

MIDWEST REGIONAL

Louisville overcomes horrific injury, drops Duke INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Crying and shaken by the sight of Kevin Ware writhing on the court, his right leg splintered, Rick Pitino and his Louisville players had no idea how they were going to pull it together with a half still left to play and a Final Four berth on the line.

Ware showed them the way.

“I don’t think we could have gathered ourselves — I know I couldn’t have — if Kevin didn’t say over and over again, ‘Just go win the game,’” Pitino said. “I don’t think we could have gone in the locker room with a loss after seeing that. We had to gather ourselves. We couldn’t lose this game for him.

“We just couldn’t.”

With Russ Smith, Peyton Siva and Gorgui Dieng leading the way, the Cardinals finally shook off their grief early in the second half, erupting for a 13-2 run that Duke was powerless to answer. The 85-63 victory clinched a second straight trip to the Final Four for the topseeded Cardinals, who

are determined to win it all for Ware, a New York City native who moved to the Atlanta area for high school.

The Cardinals (33-5) will play Wichita State in the national semifinals next Saturday. The ninthseeded Shockers (30-8) added to their streak of upsets with a 70-66 victory over Ohio State on Saturday night.

As the final seconds ticked down, Ware’s best friend on the team, Chane Behanan, put on

the guard’s No. 5 jersey and stood at the end of the bench, screaming. Cardinals fans chanted “Kevin Ware! Kevin Ware!”

“We talked about it every timeout, ‘Get Kevin home,’” Pitino said.

Smith finished with 23 points and earned Most Outstanding Player honors for the Midwest Region. Siva added 16 while Dieng had 14 points and 11 rebounds.

Mason Plumlee had 17 points and 12 rebounds for Duke. But the Blue Devils (30-6) couldn’t overcome a poor start by Seth Curry, who scored all 12 of his points in the second half, or their foul trouble.

“I thought we had a chance there, and then, boom,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “That’s what they do to teams.

They can boom you.”

This was the first time Pitino and Krzyzewski had met in the regional finals since that 1992 classic that ended with Christian Laettner’s improbable buzzer-beater, a game now considered one of the best in NCAA Tournament history.

This game will be remembered, too, but for a very different — and much more somber — reason.

With 6:33 left in the first half, Ware, who has played a key role in Louisville’s 14-game winning streak, jumped to try and block Tyler Thornton’s threepoint shot. When he landed, Ware’s right leg snapped midway between his ankle and knee, the bone skewing almost at a right angle.

Ware dropped to the floor right in front of the Louisville bench and, almost in unison, his teammates turned away in horror.

Thornton grimaced, putting his hand to his mouth as he turned around.

“I heard it and then I seen what happened, (the bone) come out,” Smith said. “I immediately just, like, fell. I almost didn’t feel nothing.”

Pitino went to help Ware up and then saw the leg, which broke in two places.

“I literally almost threw up,” Pitino said, his voice catching. “Then I just wanted to get a towel to get it over that. But all the players came over and saw it.”

SOUTH REGIONAL

Michigan rolls over UF ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — Trey Burke and Michigan had the perfect response for everyone who said they were too young or not tough enough to make it all the way to Atlanta.

The championship trophy for the South Region is headed back to Ann Arbor, while another fabulous group of young Wolverines is going to the Final Four.

Led by Burke and sharpshooting guard Nik Stauskas, one of three freshmen starters, Michigan controlled Florida from start to finish in a 79-59 win Sunday.

“It means the world — 20 years has passed and we haven’t been on that stage yet,” said Tim Hardaway Jr., the junior elder statesman in the starting lineup.

The last time Michigan made it this far was the Fab Five era of the early 1990s, what until now had been considered the program’s glory years.

Might be time to start rethinking that.

Once they got ahead Sunday, the Wolverines (30-7) maintained a double-digit lead against the experienced Gators (298), who won the regularseason title in the South-

MICHIGAN PLAYERS CELEBRATE their 79-59 rout of Florida in the South Regional final on Sunday in Arlington, Texas. eastern Conference, but lost in a regional final for the third straight year.

“We’ve almost become numb to it now. Been here before,” Gators junior center Patric Young said. “I just really wish we were out there cutting the nets down.”

Stauskas scored 22 points while making all six of his three-pointers.

Burke, the South Region’s most outstanding player, scored 15 points even while dealing with

some spasms in his upper back, and 6-foot-10 freshman Mitch McGary had 11 points and nine rebounds.

When the game ended, Burke and several of his teammates went to the opposite side of the court toward Michigan fans behind press row with fingers raised. Fans were chanting, “It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine!”

And great to be young.

“Seeing it all come together, I don’t what to say,”

sixth-year Wolverines coach John Beilein said.

“I’m a little bit speechless.”

Michigan hadn’t reached the Final Four since consecutive finals appearances in 1992 and 1993, the freshman and sophomore seasons of the Fab Five — Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King.

With four wins in this NCAA tourney, the Wolverines already have more tournament victories than their total (three) from the end of the Fab Five era to this season.

He would only say he was fond of all four schools on his list.

The 6-8 forward averaged 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 2.5 assists for Huntington Prep (W.Va.), which finished 303. He is the son of former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins and Canadian track Olympic medalist Marity Payne-Wiggins, both graduates of Florida State.

Wiggins told the Tribune the plan is “to get bigger, stronger, faster. Just be ready for the next level.”

That’s what we’re best at. If we continue to do that, we should go really far.”

Heat 88, Spurs 86 SAN ANTONIO — Chris Bosh scored 23 points, including a winning threepointer with 1.9 seconds remaining, and the Heat beat San Antonio on Sunday night with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers sitting out due to injuries.

Ray Allen had 14 points, Norris Cole added 13 and Mike Miller 12 for Miami (58-15), which swept the season series with San Antonio (55-18).

By earning the head-tohead tiebreaker with San Antonio, the Heat essentially have a four-game cushion with nine remaining for the league’s best record and home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs.

Tim Duncan had 17 points and 12 rebounds and Kawhi Leonard added 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who a seven-game home winning streak snapped. Danny Green and Tony Parker added 12 points apiece and Stephen Jackson had 11.

Bosh finished 3-for-5 on threes, including the final shot from straightaway in the closing seconds. He let out a loud yell after making the shot and celebrated with teammates when Parker’s jumper bounced off the backboard as the buzzer sounded.

The game was similar to Miami’s 105-100 victory Nov. 29 against San Antonio, when the Spurs’ reserves nearly toppled the Heat. This time the reserves prevailed, however.

James and Wade were surprise late scratches, while Chalmers did not play Friday in New Orleans and was listed as day-to-day because of a sprained right ankle.

James strained his right hamstring in the first half of Friday’s 108-89 victory at New Orleans, according to the Heat. He continued to play despite the injury, however, scoring 36 points in 32 minutes prior to sitting out late in the blowout victory.

Wade injured his right ankle in Miami’s 101-97 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, which snapped the Heat’s 27-game winning streak.

Wade had 17 points and nine assists in 33 minutes Friday against New Orleans.

The absences didn’t impact Miami.

Miami outscored San Antonio 31-18 in the third quarter, going 4-for-7 on threes to take a 71-64 lead.

Rashard Lewis’ layup off a turnover gave the Heat a 64-56 lead, their largest of the game.

How former Jayhawks fared Mario Chalmers, Miami Inactive (ankle injury) Xavier Henry, New Orleans Min: 1. Pts: 0. Reb: 0. Ast: 0.

Kirk Hinrich, Chicago Min: 34. Pts: 3. Reb: 1. Ast: 6.

Paul Pierce, Boston Min: 32. Pts: 24. Reb: 15. Ast: 5.

Leonard and Green hit back-to-back threes as San Antonio pulled to 80-78 with 5:21 remaining in the game.

Duncan’s jumper gave the Spurs an 84-83 lead with 2:59 to go. San Antonio had an opportunity to extend the lead when Green raced toward the basket off a steal, but Shane Battier blocked his 1-on-2 attempt. Parker pushed his hands down on the next stoppage of play, telling Green to take his time.

Both teams were scoreless until Duncan hit another fadeaway jumper with 1:21 left to give San Antonio an 86-83 lead.

Cole hit two free throws to pull Miami to 86-85 with 32.1 seconds left, setting up Bosh’s heroics.

The absence of James, Wade and Chalmers rekindled the controversy surrounding San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich’s decision to send Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green home instead of having them play the second game of a backto-back Nov. 19 in Miami.

It was the finale of a sixgame road trip, finishing with four games in five days. The Spurs did not give the NBA or Miami prior notice of the players’ absences, which led the NBA to fine San Antonio $250,000.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was asked if San Antonio’s decision to sit their stars in Miami had an impact on his decision to rest his stars for this game.

“I could see how you guys can draw that conclusion, but no,” Spoelstra said before the game.

Unlike Popovich, Spoelstra listed injuries as the reason for his stars’ absence, which will likely eliminate the chance of the league fining Miami.

Popovich reacted in mock horror when told James, Wade and Chalmers were out.

“Are you kidding me,” Popovich said in mock astonishment. “Who would think of something like that? That’s below the belt. There’s no place for that.”

Knicks 108, Celtics 89 NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and the Knicks extended their winning streak to eight games and moved closer to ending Boston’s hold on the Atlantic Division title.

The Knicks beat the Celtics for the second time this week and won the season series for the first time since 200304, when they also went 3-1 against Boston. New York climbed back into a tie with Indiana in the race for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, which would currently mean a playoff meeting with the Celtics.

Bulls 95, Pistons 94 CHICAGO — Luol Deng scored 28 points, Jimmy Butler and Nate Robinson each added 16, and Chicago beat Detroit for the 18th straight time.

Rodney Stuckey scored 25 points, and Greg Monroe added 18 points for the Pistons, who have not beaten the Bulls since Dec. 23, 2008.

Chicago rallied from a 13-point deficit to tie the score 78-all with 9:27 remaining on Butler’s dunk after a steal. Robinson then fed Deng for a layup for an 80-78 lead, the Bulls’ first advantage since 1-0.

Deng and Robinson each hit three-pointers to extend the Bulls’ lead to 91-84. Stuckey’s layup cut Chicago’s lead to one with

1:27 left before Deng had a layup for a 94-91 lead.

Royals moves bring big hopes CHICAGO (AP) — As the Kansas City Royals added to their roster during the offseason, Billy Butler was glad the team embraced the task at hand instead of eyeing the future.

The Royals are in a winnow mode and believe they are poised to make a big jump in the AL Central starting with today’s opener against the Chicago White Sox. “There’s no reason we shouldn’t be better,” Butler said Sunday. “How much better that is? I’m not a mind reader. I’m not a projector. ... Our talent’s higher than it’s ever been since I’ve been here.”

After going 72-90 for their 17th losing season in 18 years, they believe they’re ready to become a winner.

“We’re still young, we’re still growing,” manager Ned Yost said.

“We’re going to have ups and we’re going to have downs, but I think we’re in a much better position

OPENING DAY: ROYALS VS. WHITE SOX When: 3:10 p.m. today Where: U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago Pitchers: James Shields, KC, vs. Chris Sale, CWS TV: FSN (Knology Cable chs. 36, 236) to be successful this year just because of the maturity factor.”

While the Royals made some big moves, including a trade with Tampa Bay for ace James Shields, the White Sox largely kept their roster intact.

Even so, they believe they have enough to challenge Detroit for the AL Central title.

They led the division for 117 days last season before a 2-10 slide in late September dropped them to 85-77, three games behind Detroit.

Ah, opening day.

The hot dogs taste better, the boxscores mean more and most every team thinks it’s just a break or two away from reaching the World Series.

A dozen games were set for today across the majors. Star pitchers Justin Verlander, Stephen Strasburg and Adam Wainwright try to get off to great starts, old rivalries are renewed at Yankee Stadium and Dodger Stadium, and a quirky interleague schedule unfolds.

No snow is in the forecast for any ballpark on April Fools’ Day, but freezing temperatures are expected at Target Field in Minnesota when Verlander and the AL champion Tigers take on the Twins.

“It’s going to be cold but I’ve pitched in that kind of weather before,” Verlander said. “I don’t think about it. It’s always cold in Detroit on opening day.”

The season started Sunday night in Houston when the Astros, who shifted from the National League to the American League during the winter, beat the Texas Rangers 8-2.

Long the site of baseball’s traditional opener, Cincinnati was going to have a new look today.

That’s when Josh Hamilton and his new Los Angeles Angels teammates visit Cincinnati in the first interleague match-up this season.

The Astros’ move left 15 teams in each league, meaning an AL vs. NL match-up most every day this season.

“It is very strange,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said.

On both coasts, there was a very familiar look — Red Sox-Yankees and Giants-Dodgers.

Mariano Rivera was set for his final opening day when the banged-up Yankees hosted Boston. The New York closer is among several big names who missed most or even all of last year — Troy Tulowitzki, Victor Martinez and John Lackey are in that group.

Injured stars Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira won’t be in pinstripes for the first pitch.

“It’s still the Yankees, it’s still going to be a good lineup,” Boston starter Jon Lester said Sunday.

Chicago’s biggest offseason moves were resigning pitcher Jake Peavy before he could become a free agent and giving a five-year deal to Chris Sale — the opening-night starter — after a 17-win season. The White Sox also shuffled their front office, promoting Rick Hahn to general manager and Ken Williams to executive vice president, and let catcher A.J. Pierzynski sign with Texas.

As for splashy additions? They left that to the rest of the division.

“I’ll drop the Florida Gulf Coast here,” Sale said, referring to his alma mater’s run to the regional semifinals in the NCAA tournament. “Nobody expected them to win anything. They didn’t have a big bandwagon or fan base to start with. If you believe in yourselves, that can take you a long way. We all believe in ourselves and in each other. We’re going to get this thing going — and get it going right away.”

“They’re missing a few of their big guys but anybody that fills in for them, it’s like what I said, they’re going to put professional at-bats together and still — it’s not going to be a walk in the park.”

No easy decisions, either, for Boston manager John Farrell, one of six new skippers in the majors this year.

At Dodger Stadium, Matt Cain starts for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants when they play Los Angeles in the century-old rivalry.

It will mark the 64th season at the microphone for Dodgers announcer Vin Scully. Heck, Tigers manager Jim Leyland seems like a mere pup by comparison, now starting his 50th year in pro ball.

All-Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez is sidelined for the Dodgers. Around the majors, third basemen Chase Headley of San Diego, David Freese of St. Louis and Brett Lawrie of Toronto will begin the season on the disabled list.

Mets third baseman David Wright plans to be in the lineup at Citi Field to take on San Diego. He hurt his ribcage at the World Baseball Classic.

On Tuesday, there are two more openers — Baltimore at Tampa Bay, and Cleveland at revamped Toronto.

HOUSTON ASTROS PINCH HITTER RICK ANKEIL (28) CELEBRATES with Justin Maxwell (44) after hitting a three-run home run against the Rangers during the sixth inning of a season-opening baseball game on Sunday in Houston.

Astros debut in AL with win vs. Rangers HOUSTON (AP) — Rick Ankiel and the Houston Astros made an impressive debut in the American League, trouncing the Texas Rangers 8-2 Sunday night in the major-league opener and giving Bo Porter a win in his first game as manager.

Ankiel launched a pinch-hit three-run shot for the first homer this season, Bud Norris pitched well for the win and Erik Bedard threw 31⁄3 scoreless innings for his first career save.

Having switched from the National League to the AL in the offseason, the Astros earned their first opening day victory since 2006 and the 4,000th regular-season win in franchise history.

The Astros are coming off consecutive 100-loss seasons and has the lowest payroll in the majors, prompting many to predict they will be the worst team in the majors. But Houston opened in style wearing spiffy new uniforms that brought back the orange and blue of oldschool Astros teams.

Justin Maxwell added a pair of triples and made a nifty catch in center field.

Norris (1-0) allowed five hits and two runs with five strikeouts in 52⁄3 innings.

He was one of five Astros making their first opening day start on baseball’s second-youngest team.

ERADICATE EMERALD ASH BORERS

T

he emerald ash borer is a half-inchlong metallic green beetle that feeds on ash trees. Native to Asia, the EAB was first discovered in the U.S. in 2002.

Since that time, it has killed tens of millions of ash trees.

There are several steps you can take to help eradicate the emerald ash borer and hopefully save the ash tree.

No ash trees? No problem. Emerald ash borers are only harmful to ash trees.

Don’t move the wood. EABs can only travel about half a mile in a lifetime. Their proliferation across the country is a result of infected wood being transported from one region to another.

Watch for signs of EAB infestation.

These include top-down thinning of ash foliage, excessive new tree shoots at the base of the tree, increased woodpecker activity, and 3 mm wide D-shaped holes around the tree trunk. Report signs of infestation immediately to the local extension office or the nearest Department of Agriculture.

Beware of insecticides that contain neonicotinoids such as Bidrin, imidacloprid or dinotefuran. Neonicotinoids have been linked to colony collapse among bees worldwide. Neem oil and Spinosad

ORIGINALLY FROM ASIA, emerald ash borers spread through infested wood that’s transported. Burn infested wood to destroy the borer’s eggs and larvae.

are both proven to be more effective in controlling EAB then neonicotinoids and have no residual effect on other animals or the environment.

Treat ash trees when signs of EAB infestation first appear or when an infestation is reported within 15 miles of the property. Treatments should be done in mid- to late spring or in mid-fall.

Yearly injections of emamectin benzoate (TREE-äge brand) or neem oil (TreeAzin brand) have proven to be the most effective treatment for EAB. Consider hiring a professional arborist to begin treatment on infected trees. Treatments may need to continue for the life of the tree.

Topical applications of Spinosad to infected ash trees are the second-most ef-

fective method of EAB control. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, spray Spinosad on all foliage and bark as soon as signs of infestation appear. Continue application every seven to 10 days until all activity subsides.

Avoid ground applications of insecticides to the base of the tree. They are less effective than injections or topical sprays and are potentially harmful to the environment.

Consider replacing ash trees rather than treating them. Burn infected wood to destroy EAB eggs and larvae. Do not transport wood to noninfected areas.

GO-GETTER

BY REBEKKA SCHLICHTING

TRY: LANDSCAPING If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not happy with your yard, it might be time to start thinking about a landscaping project.

Even a small addition, such as placing small trees in a colorful ceramic pot near an entryway can add color and design to your home.

GETTING STARTED According to Laurel Sears, a designer at Lawrence Landscape, lawrencelandscape.com, it is best to start small. She said the first step to improving a yard is to take a look at what you already have and write down the things you do not like.

Here are a few cheap and easy tips that will give your yard more design and fresh color:

Re-mulch everything

Cut new flower bed lines

Add potted plants

An herb garden is perfect for starters and for people who live in small areas, Sears said. For example, if you only have a balcony, you can keep herbs.

Be sure to research how many hours of sunlight the plants you choose need. Herb gardens grow under many conditions, they smell good and you can easily spice up a meal with convenient fresh spices.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to add something more to your yard, such as a tree or a few shrubs, make sure to research the installation thoroughly. Trees will die if they are not planted correctly.

For bigger landscaping projects, such as rock walls, patios, ponds and more, it is better to leave it to the professionals. Many things can go wrong, including injuries.

Sears said a common mistake people run into is causing drainage problems in their yards.

EXPERTS To find plants or to start a garden, the best place to go is a nursery. The professionals there can coach you on how to properly plant and care for new additions.

Research the businesses before choosing a landscaping company or designer. Check out their previous experience and work samples.

Lululemon: Downward dog not required for returns

BY MAE ANDERSON, ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No â&#x20AC;&#x153;downward-facing dogâ&#x20AC;? is required.

Lululemon said Wednesday that no demonstrations of yoga or any other positions are needed to return the pricey black yoga pants that the company pulled from shelves last week after finding that they were too sheer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do not require guests to demonstrate the sheerness of their bottoms,â&#x20AC;? said Sari Martin, who works for communications firm ICR and spoke on behalf of Lululemon.

The Vancouver-based yoga gear makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement comes a day after a New York Post report that was widely circulated by the media recounted one womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale of being asked by sales staff to bend over to prove that the yoga pants she was trying to return were sheer.

Martin would not comment on the specific instance recounted by the Post, but said Wednesday that this is not standard

policy for Lululemon staffers. To the contrary, she said that people who bought the black â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luonâ&#x20AC;? yoga pants, which cost $72 to $98, since March 1, either online or in store, can return them for a full refund, â&#x20AC;&#x153;no questions asked.â&#x20AC;?

The hubbub comes a week after Lululemon said it was recalling its black â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luonâ&#x20AC;? yoga pants, which account for about 17 percent of all womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pants in its stores, because their material was too sheer. The pants are made from a combination of nylon and Lycra fibers.

The company still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t determined the cause of the problem. And officials have declined to say when the items would be back in its stores. But the company has added more stringent controls and is diversifying its suppliers to make sure it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again.

The flap is a blemish for a company that has been a superstar in the athletic world.

Lululemon has grown to 211 stores, including one in Leawood and one at Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo.

Tips for the new organic gardener

BY MERYL CARVER-ALLMOND

M

y grandfather grew tomatoes, beans, peas, corn — he even had a small orchard from which he would pick fruit for my grandmother’s fabulous pies. He gardened for 70-plus years, all about 100 miles from here, making any advice he could have given me invaluable.

Unfortunately, he died years before I caught the gardening bug, so I’ve had to learn the hard way: experience.

I am now in my eighth year as an organic gardener — mostly veggies, but some flowers too. I’ve gardened in a local community garden as well as my own backyard. Here are six bits of wisdom my experiences have taught me.

1. WRITE IT DOWN. Keep a paper journal, start a blog, make a record of your garden. At minimum, it should include the specific variety of what you plant, when you planted it, any problems you had, and how your harvest went. Pictures are a nice bonus.

Review your record before you plan your garden each year. Not only will it help you to remember the name of that yummy tomato you planted last year, it will keep you from making the same mistakes over and over again.

2. BUY (AT LEAST) ONE GOOD BOOK. I love the Internet, but it’s still worthwhile to have one gardening reference book to help narrow down problems.

Several years ago my Brussels sprouts were being attacked by red bugs, and I couldn’t figure out what the bugs were by searching online. So I looked up Brussels sprouts in my book and found that they are commonly attacked by Harlequin bugs when the weather gets warm.

Sure enough, when I did an image search for “Harlequin bugs,” the results looked just like the bugs I had in my garden.

The specific book you buy will depend on what you’re growing, but my trusty book of choice is “Rodale’s Vegetable Garden Problem Solver.”

3. VISIT YOUR GARDEN OFTEN. When I was gardening at the community garden, I didn’t always get to it every day. But I found I had to check in every other day, at least.

While I think this is necessary for all gardeners to some degree, if you want to garden organically, it’s essential.

When you don’t allow yourself to drop a chemical bomb on every pest that comes along, you have to catch little problems before they become big problems.

The first time I planted pumpkins, I started noticing little bronze eggs on the leaves in mid-July. I didn’t get on top of it as quickly as I should have, and before I knew it my whole crop was decimated by squash bugs.

If I had picked the eggs off the first time I saw them, I

could have helped stem the damage.

While you’re doing your walk-through, take five minutes and pull as many weeds as you can. Like pests of the insect variety, weeds will creep up on you until all of a sudden getting rid of them without chemicals is overwhelming. Catch weeds when they’re small and scratch them out with a hoe before they start to take over.

4. RAISE YOUR SOIL RIGHT, FEED IT WELL, TUCK IT IN. I’m convinced that raised beds are the way to go. My problem is clay, but whatever deficiencies your soil may have, it’s easier to fix them if you raise everything off the ground a bit. Even just logs or landscaping timbers pushed together in a square helps make digging, mixing in compost and planting much easier.

When you go to fill that raised bed, think compost, compost, compost. Get as much as you can, and mix it in well with your existing soil. If you want your plants to feed you, you must feed them, and they crave compost!

Lastly, cover your soil. You can use pretty mulch if you want, but I usually use newspapers and straw. I put down about six layers of newspaper (black and white only), spray it with water, and spread one or two inches of straw over the top. When I plant my veggies I use a shovel to poke a hole through the paper. It keeps the weeds down, lets water in, and whatever is left of it next spring can easily be dug back into my soil.

away from you. You’re going to see visions of your entire crop being ruined, and you’re going to be tempted to resort to a chemical spray. When this happens, stop and step back.

Yes, yes, I know. You worked hard for that plant, whatever it is. You dug and toiled in the hot sun, perhaps were even devoured by mosquitoes as you regularly watered.

But, if you’re a small-scale gardener, is it really worth it? Do you really need that eggplant that’s probably halfchewed on by bugs anyway? Or can you accept that nothing is a failure if you enjoyed the learning process, and pick up your eggplant at one of our beautiful farmers’ markets instead?

6. GROW WHAT YOU LOVE, BUT LOVE WHAT YOU CAN GROW.

5. KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.

If you can be perfectly satisfied with a garden of tomatoes and peppers, go for it. If you’re intrigued by exotic varieties of garlic, plant yourself some. To me, there is no point in having a garden if you don’t grow the things you absolutely love.

With all that being said, I’ve found the plants I truly love are the ones that don’t need much fuss and are happy in the climate and space that I have to give them. I’ve killed four beautiful rose bushes to date, and none have made me as happy as the beautiful Diablo cosmos that pop up almost unbidden all over my garden. The most humble thriving flower looks better than the grandest dead one — work with what you’ve got!

If you’re committed to gardening organically, you should realize that sometimes a problem is going to get

I hope my experiences are helpful to you–best of luck in your garden!

Rainy-day beauty tips

BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL, Keep running your fingers through your hair throughout the day for bounce.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a question of if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be caught in a springtime shower; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of when.

The key to looking your best when it does rain is taking a relaxed attitude, experts say. On those days, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try a complicated hairstyle or a dramatic smoky eye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enjoy the moment to be simple,â&#x20AC;? says Melissa Silver, Maybelline New York makeup artist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why fight it?â&#x20AC;?

The important thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no matter how your look turns out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is to make it seem purposeful, not like you were caught offguard, says Linda Wells, editor-in-chief of Allure magazine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to start with, say, tousled hair than try to undo or redo a manicured, sleek style on a day that the weather will win.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say you should give up altogether, says Bliss Spa President Mike Indursky. Once you put on the old clothes and scuffed shoes, skip your hair and makeup, and use the broken umbrella, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find your mood nosedives and cannot be fixed with a reapplication of mascara. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no reason not to be the ray of sunshine when you walk in somewhere.

The weather could be bad out, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already happened. You can walk into the office, to a restaurant, to a party, and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;From this point on, everything is going to be fantastic.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Some pre-emptive steps â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and quick easy fixes: O Pay attention to the forecast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be raining, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear a white chiffon dress, you wear something more durable. Do the same thing with your makeup,â&#x20AC;? Silver says.

O Next, know your hair type, says Ammon Carver, artistic director for Matrix.

Surprisingly, curly or wavy hair is going to be easier to deal with, he says. Use a defrizzing gel on wet hair and then let it air dry. Then you can use a curling iron to seal natural waves and curls and limit frizz.

For straight hair, you need to control the roots and the ends, he says, suggesting a product with at least a bit of oil, which will repel water.

O If you have fine hair and fear flatness, Wells recommends dry shampoo at the roots to add volume, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to keep it dry outside to keep the texture right.

EW

O Wear your hair in a braid or a bun when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going out. You can take it out when you get to your destination and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have more of the wave you want anyway, but less hair will have been exposed to the elements.

O For makeup, revisit waterproof products, which have been modernized with smoother textures and creamier formulas, says Maybellineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silver. A bonus, she says: Waterproof mascara holds curl better, so sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also use it for indoor photo shoots or when her day turns into a day-to-night schedule.

O Simplify the color palette. One application of a single shade of a long-wear, cream-gel eye shadow thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly pigmented will take you much farther than mixing and matching powders in humid weather, Silver says.

Powder products, and this goes for blush, too, will get streaky when wet because the water will clump together with dry powder.

For cheeks, she likes a silicone-fortified, oil-free gel blush (such as Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush).

O Silver steers clear of lip gloss on rainy days because with the rain often comes wind, and hair will get stuck in the gloss and then create whiskers when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re freed. Wells says a lip stain doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run the same risk of smudging as lipstick.

O Take the pens at the bottom of your purse and replace them with cotton swabs, maybe even the kind with preloaded makeup remover. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remove a smudge without taking off too much.

O After a drenching, go to the restroom that has a hand dryer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You hate them when you have to dry your hands, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love them for your hair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll reactivate your styling product,â&#x20AC;? Wells says.

O When all else fails, carry a headband and ponytail holder in your bag, says Matrixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carver, and make sure they have a more Bohemian than refined vibe so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll better match the less controlled condition of your hair.

Blissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Indursky says the ultimate fallback is getting a pedicure or an eyebrow wax â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not weather related. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You would be amazed at the strut women walk out of here with.â&#x20AC;?

DEEP CLEAN

Don’t miss these grime collectors

BY SARA SHEPHERD

T

he mystery goo petrified in the corner of the crisper, the lint-monster lurking in the dryer vent, the cat hair carpeting the back of the cable box.

Staying out of sight allows grime hideouts in your household appliances and electronics to be easily overlooked. While these machines don’t need weekly or monthly attention, professionals say adding them to your annual spring cleaning routine is a good idea.

“You really do take them for granted,” says Andy Vigna, owner of Stoneback Appliance, 925 Iowa St. “You use them every day, and as long as they work, you don’t really think anything of it.”

Keeping these often expensive appliances and electronics clean isn’t just for looks, either, say Vigna and Jeff Huffman, owner of Jeff’s Audio Video, who installs and offers cleaning services for home electronics equipment.

“It will improve the performance of your appliance, it will extend the life of the appliance, and it will create a healthier environment in your home,” Vigna says.

Here are some appliances and electronics to put on your checklist, with tips on how to clean them yourself.

Let’s start with the kitchen.

OVENS Spring is a great time to set that oven dial for selfclean, Vigna says. First, you’ve probably put this appliance through a long winter of cooking, starting with the holidays. Second, the weather should finally be nice enough to open windows, allowing heat and odors to escape while the oven is cleaning.

REFRIGERATOR With the house sealed up all winter, imagine the dust, pet hair, toys, magnets and Cheerios that have taken up residency under your fridge. Yuck.

At least once or twice a year, Vigna recommends re-

JEFF HUFFMAN, OWNER OF JEFF’S AUDIO VIDEO, does some spring cleaning at a client’s home. Dust is an invader of electronic and visual equipment and needs cleaned to ensure the equipment runs well. moving the kick panel and vacuuming or sweeping around the coils beneath the unit, as well as behind it.

“That really helps with the efficiency of the refrigerator,” he says. “It helps it breathe better, and it doesn’t have to work as hard to keep things cool with the hot summer coming up.”

Don’t forget to clean inside, too, ideally before a big grocery store run. If you have a second refrigerator, Vigna suggests taking everything out of the fridge, turning it off and letting it warm up for about an hour before wiping everything inside down with warm, soapy water.

If you notice the door gaskets — those rubbery, accordion-like seals — look brittle after dry, winter weather, wipe them with Vaseline to keep them pliable.

DISHWASHER Does your dishwasher smell less-than-fresh or have chalky white buildup? Vigna suggests this easy remedy: You can purchase cleaning tablets such as those made by Affresh, or just set a cup of vinegar upright on the top rack and run the dishwasher through a normal cycle.

MORE TIPS ONLINE Drapes are another common culprit for unnoticed dirt buildup. For more on cleaning them, go online to LJWorld.com.

Fluid can drip down and make its way into circuitry if sprayed directly on a screen, Huffman says. And if your cloth is dirty or has been used for other things, debris trapped in it can scratch screens, many of which are now made of plastic.

REMOTE

Do this once every three to four months, he says, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cleaning your dishwasher for the first time in a while, be prepared to repeat the process another time or two.

Onto the living room, where nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooking or washing dishes, but plenty of people have been getting fingerprints on the TV and crumbs stuck in the remote.

To get the gunk out of crevices and from around buttons, Huffman suggests using an old toothbrush. Then wipe the remote with screen cleaning fluid and a microfiber cloth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; again spray the cloth, not the device.

Last but definitely not least, the utility room.

DRYER

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to clean these and other electronic items that generate heat and/or have a cooling fan every year, Huffman says. Every six months is better, especially if you smoke, have pets or live near dirt roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over time, dust collects and restricts airflow, which causes the temperature inside those units to rise,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dust and heat are the two biggest causes of premature death in electronics.â&#x20AC;?

If the item has a removable filter, such as a projector, take it out and clean it, Huffman says. Otherwise, find the vents and vacuum them with a brush attachment.

Of all appliances, the dryer is probably the most important to deep clean, Vigna says. If the vent line gets clogged, it can cause increased drying times, heating element burn-outs and, in extreme cases, fire.

At least once a year, remove the hose that runs from the dryer to the wall and clean it out, or replace it if needed (the shorter the hose and the fewer the kinks or bends, the better). To clean inside the wall, buy a ventcleaning brush or use an electric leaf blower.

Outside, make sure the flapper on the outside of the house is open while the dryer is running. Vigna says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen birds nests and squirrels hiding nuts in this spot, which blocks airflow from the dryer.

SPEAKERS

WASHER

To protect the delicate fabric that covers speakers, use a feather duster, microfiber duster or even a paintbrush with long, soft bristles, Huffman says. While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, find a new home for the knick-knacks in front of your speakers, as they can impede sound.

Affresh also makes washer cleaning tablets, but, just like the dishwasher, you can get this job done with vinegar. To combat odors, mildew and mineral buildup, pour in two cups of vinegar and run the machine through a hot wash cycle.

While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, check the hoses behind the washer to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not cracked, brittle or blisteredlooking. Vigna says that stainless steel mesh hoses can last the lifetime of an appliance but that rubber hoses usually need replacing every couple years.

CABLE BOXES, RECEIVERS, AMPLIFIERS

SCREENS Television screens and computer monitors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t windows, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use Windex or anything ammonia-based, Huffman says. Instead, buy screen cleaning fluid (eyeglass cleaner works, too), spray it on a clean microfiber cloth reserved for screens and gently wipe them.

on the street Do you plan to do any spring cleaning this year?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, none at all. My house isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that dirty and I have to clean every day. My husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hot wreck.â&#x20AC;?

Christina Anderson, substitute teacher, Bonner Springs

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes. There is something nice about being able to open the windows and let spring in.â&#x20AC;?

Emily Vanderlippe, student, Overland Park

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely. There will be a large-scale shuffling out of everything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; boyfriends, furniture.â&#x20AC;?

Style FOR THE AGES VAUGHN SCRIBNER

}

Sure, you can dart into [insert clothing store here] and walk out with a decent wardrobe, but I almost guarantee that your bank account wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the better for it, and, honestly, you probably missed a better piece of clothing for far less money somewhere else.

SMART SHOPPING I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the oldest clichĂŠ in the book: Men hate shopping.

Ominous warnings circle men from every direction: Treat any clothing store like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filled with poisonous gas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just get in and get out as fast as possible!

And never, under any circumstances, get caught shopping with your significant other. If you do, hightail it to one of those random couches in the corner of the store.

Doing otherwise will mean certain death â&#x20AC;Ś or worse, you might (*gasp*) realize that shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when done efficiently and smartly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can actually be a fun, rewarding experience.

Shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201D; well, let me be more specific, smart shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201D; isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy. Sure, you can dart into [insert clothing store here] and walk out with a decent wardrobe, but I almost guarantee that your bank account wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the better for it, and, honestly, you probably missed a better piece of clothing for far less money somewhere else.

Smart shopping requires planning, patience and practicality. (I know, three â&#x20AC;&#x153;pâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just avoid the cheesiness for now).

Planning is the first step. Pick a few key stores that you like, and start browsing. What fits you well here? What donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you like so much?

Talk to the staff. When are their big sales? Are there any coupons or special promotions available?

Make a note of favorite pieces from different stores,

and keep your eyes open for sales on these items. Heck, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to go into the store these days. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve figured out what generally fits you, make a beeline for the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and check for sales there, too.

Make a list of items you need and items you want, with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;needâ&#x20AC;? items taking precedence.

This is where patience comes in. I think too many people wait until the last minute, and then just go and buy something full price when they need it. This is by no means the end of the world, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a budget like me (and have tastes, unfortunately, far beyond your bud-

6SULQJ .QLWWLQJ )HYHU

get), patience can make a huge difference in the quality of product you end up with.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly buying things out of season for a fraction of their usual cost, or waiting for something to fall in price before I snatch it up. As I always say, everything will go on sale eventually. You just need to be there when it does, which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit takes some work but can pay dividends.

Finally, you have to be practical. Getting too entrenched in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;find-a-dealâ&#x20AC;? mindset can be a dangerous thing. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not careful, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start buying clothing pieces you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even really like or want, when it comes down to it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;too good a deal to pass up.â&#x20AC;? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let sticker shock sway your reasoning. Even if a sweater is down from $1,000 to $100, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still $100. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good deal unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you actually need and like.

I could go on and on about smart shopping, but space is limited. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably address some more facets of this ongoing effort in the future, especially the treacherous (but sometimes rewarding) world of outlet malls. Even though smart shopping isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy, if given a little effort, it can be a rewarding and budget-friendly experience. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vaughn Scribner can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

SnapChat no safer than texting Dr. Wes: Last week we discussed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sexy Baby,â&#x20AC;? a documentary that urges us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rather jarringly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to consider how easy access to explicit sexual content crosses the boundary from adult entertainment to daily teen culture.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in sexting, which includes two behaviors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sexy written interchange, ranging from flirtatious to hard core, and explicit pictures ranging from nude to swimmingpool-legal with seductive poses.

So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad news and worse news.

First the bad: There are no reliable stats, but I guarantee that any study you find underestimates the commonality of written sexting. The vast majority of dating couples engage in it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not endorsing this. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just reporting it. Parents wanting to verify that statistic in the privacy of their own home will instead hear that their teens have never ever sexted anyone. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not worth asking. Better to discuss it as a concept.

Start with this: Text messaging isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like a phone call. It leaves a detailed transcript.

Turn that over to someone who used to be your friend or dating partner and now happens to hate you? Disaster ensues, whether the text is explicit or just embarrassing.

So kids, never put into writing anything you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want read by the wrong person.

Now, the worse news. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under 18, sexting pictures isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a bad idea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal. Two clicks and it can contribute to the vast array of child pornography treasured by pervs in cyberspace.

Yet every week I hear a new pic-sexting story. But the scary part is how these stories have changed.

Five years ago, kids described a serious breach of trust (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh my God, a picture of my _____ went viral. I should never have trusted him/her!â&#x20AC;?). Today itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s framed as no thing (â&#x20AC;&#x153;God, mom! Why is this such a big

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT deal to you? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my _____! Not yours!â&#x20AC;?).

Enter SnapChat, which kills the sent image after a few seconds. The perfect sexting app, huh? And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been used that way from the day it was released. I actually learned about it while reading articles extolling the wisdom of teens who were switching to SnapChat to preserve their privacy while sexting. No, seriously.

What the authors failed to mention is that it only takes an awkward two-finger movement to take a screen shot of any sent image. Exactly 100 percent of all teens Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked already know that. So much for 10 seconds of privacy.

Sex is many wonderful things, but it is not a teen spectatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sport, even if our culture bellows out a contrary message. As the mom in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sexy Babyâ&#x20AC;? advises, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be part of the conversation [about sexuality]. I want to be part of the thinking.â&#x20AC;?

Regardless of how uncomfortable that conversation may be, parents should heed that advice and start talking. A lot.

Katie: My generation has grown up

without imagining a telephone tied to the wall by a cord. We communicate wirelessly from any location, except maybe a Carnival Cruise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though I understand you can purchase that service.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, vast computer networks see our grades, college applications, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and most of our private conversations in texts and online.

For us, the virtual world is the real world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which makes it difficult to convince teenagers that sexting is not the same as being alone in a bedroom with a sexual partner with the door closed. If most teens send as many words through texts and tweets as they do through their lips, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that many turn phone cameras into longdistance eyes, sending images to people they know intimately in private.

Though the dangers of sexting are widely known, teens are infamous for thinking â&#x20AC;&#x153;it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen to me.â&#x20AC;? At the moment of sending, few believe a trusted partner would misuse an intimate text.

Then comes the breakup. Suddenly, those texts arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so private anymore.

Considering the popularity of sexting, fear of consequences clearly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopping anyone. More effective is teaching teens lifelong technological responsibility and respect, both for others and for yourself.

Children should be introduced gradually to technology, with limits placed on their Internet and cellphone usage and family discussions designed to help kids understand the relationship between virtual and physical behavior.

A healthy, ethical home life can help teens distinguish between positive and negative attention. Those whose families teach them to respect their minds and bodies will feel less compelled to seek someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval through a snapshot of a brief adolescent mistake.
